• No wiseco clutch components for the Zilla. The only thing that I worry about with the Hinson is taking the gears off my old basket and putting them in the Hinson.

• That would be a little less intimidating. Been a decade since I've even worked in an atv it's not like riding a bike when all you've really done is rebuild a top end replace clutches and do bolt on stuff. Glad I got this forum and others though!

• Yea I just did clutch in mine the case is tough to get off make sure you set you little gear in middle of case up again or your clutch won't grab I checked before I bolted it down also check the cable pull it in and out should move with easy after that make sure the ARM ( that cable connects to ) is lined up with mark on the case . CHECK. THE CABLE. I bought a dirtdigger clutch when all I needed was a 8 dollar cable your going to need a case gaskit as well .  I would call motosport or where ever to see if it come with bolts for the gear I'm 75 percent sure on the basket as well Thoses pics are examples you will get the same one regardless

• Ordered this basket. In the picture is a trx250r basket but the Hinson part number is correct for the Zilla.

• Cleaner shot of the head and question about clutch gears. Which do I grind off to get the gears off the basket to put them on the new Hinson basket I ordered the side in the first picture or second picture of the clutch?

• I ordered my clutch basket from eBay but Hinson still sells then for $249 Rocky Mountain atv.com has some parts for them. The stores on this site and other members also is worth checking out.

• Is it necessary to split my cases to check the condition of my crank and bearings and whether I need to rebuild the bottom end?

• just take side covers off motor and try to see if the crank moves, i think if you can feel it
  move then you may need to take all the way apart.
  
  i am sure someone else will better answere your question.
